Administrative policies serve their purpose best when they are current. The requirements in administrative policy reflect alignment with laws and regulations, or convey University decisions based on risk, efficiency, and cost effectiveness. The comprehensive review process provides an opportunity, at least every four years, for you, the policy owner, to take a deep look at your administrative policy and procedures to answer core questions such as: is the policy still needed? Do the requirements take into consideration associated burden (unless externally mandated)?
